Dec 26-31 Junction and then Mckinney Falls

We left for Junction about 6:00 am. Stopped in Schulenberg and had breakfast  at Franks. When we got on the road Kerry and Regan passed us. Mike and Lavonna were about an hour behind us. We  made the ranch about 1:00 pm and set up beside the creek. Later Regan,Mike Templeton  and I rode the ranch and checked deer stands.We just chilled the rest of the evening.We had a really good week. We hunted and saw .deer on every hunt. I  saw one really good 8 pt that I almost shot to have it mounted but in the end I let him walk. I was only going to shoot cull bucks and does. We ate and drank well all week. Relaxing in front of the fireplace every night.Kerry and Susan went to Kerrville one day shopping but Lavonna just stayed in front of the fireplace. The weather forecast looked bleak for new years day when we were supposed to head to Austin.We decided to leave on Wednesday hoping to miss the really bad weather.It was 25 and icy when we left the ranch. Once we got on I-!0 heading toward Junction it started sleeting. It was slow going. On the hill heading up east  out of Junction we . saw two wrecks, one a travel trailer turned upside down. On the west side heading down the hill there was a really bad wreck. The traffic was backed up all the way to Segovia.. We had one spot on 290 where we did a little sliding across a bridge but made it ok. Happily by the time we got to Fredricksburg it had dryed up and got above 32.  It was really  nice when we made Mckinney Falls State Prk, dry and 41 degrees. For New Years eve we went to eat Mexican food and back to the trailer. What a party night.

We did a lot of this
